PEACE NEGOTIATION!)
STRIKE W1L
* i
- ? i
New York, Aug. 26 (By the Assc-i
tinted - Press).?-With peace effort^
launched by the "Big Five" brother '
hood definitely abandoned, the rail!
executives and shop crafts leaders to-1
day aligned fo* a finish fight in which j
both sides predicted an early victory j
"We are going home to start a real r
fight," declared W. F. Ryan, head o'J
the carmen's brotherhood, expressing!
the attitude of the workers. i
In the rail executives circles new .!
of disrup in parleys were given
varied reception. "We will breal tn
strike within a week" was the ?*en
eral prediction.
New York, Aug 26 (By the A8PO-t
dated Press).?The rail strike today!,
developed into a fight to the finish iwhen
peace negotiations wore blown!
sky high.
Heads of thp Ri" ?
? * t*V lOIUUitl I
' rotherhoods, acting as mediators
between the executives and striking,
shopmen in a final effort to effect!
separate settlement with individual!
roads after the Association of Ra'l
way Executives as u whole had re !
jected the running trades first peace j 1
overtures, reported to the represents
txves of 77 roads at the Yale club
fW- morn'n; that the shop crafts >
had turned down a proposition made!
to them yesterday by the carriers. j i
Negotiations then w?^ sharply 11
broken off and executives, strike
leaders and brotherhood chiefs pack- i
ed up their bags and began leavinr i
town prepared for a test -of endur- (
ance.
Before he departed for his head- \ ^
quarters in Chicago, Bert M. Jewell J,
official spokesman for the strikers
? ? ra rt^d he believed the executives
who had lingered for the parley oi>
individual settlements soon would b<*1,
enabled "to bring home to their hard
rshelled colleagues the railroad situa
Hon in its grim reality.' I
"We shall be: content to let the
condition Of equipment proye that the i
railroads can not operate with un-t
skilled workmen," chfclared Mr. Jew.
-ell, adding later that "we can and wo I
calling upon strikers to renew the
struggle with redoubled vigor.
- The latest peace proposal, centering
as was the case with all tyie. |
others on the question of seniority
briefly was that roads interested lr j
individual settlements would pledg"
themselves to find employment for1
all strikers not convicted of acts of
violence;, would not curtail pension
rights "or* other privileges'; and
would agree to submit to a commission
of ten brotherhood leaders and,
(executives all disputes which could j
not be settled by direct conference. j
The strikers who have maintained
that they had not authorized the Bie i
Five to suggest individual settle- 1
ments, rejected this proposal with
the explanation that it did not guarantee
seniority to the men who might j
returrn on one-third of the country's
roads and at the same time would de stroy
the effectiveness of the strike
. Ibeing carried on on the other twothirds.
Then from the mediating brotherhoods
came the statement that they
reluctantly notified all concerned thnt
they considered further peace efforts
futile and had nothing more to suggest.

NEW DISCUSSION
OF REPARATIONS I
N
Paris, Aug. 25 (By the Associat m
ed Press).?The reparations commit ag
tec will hold a session tomorrow af- m
ternooh, immediately following th-j ce
return to Paris of the representatives co
tof the commission who have been in w<
Berlin endeavoring to arrange with
the German government for further ofl
guarantees for a moratorium to U1
Gemany. ur
The members of the delegation will th
arrive shortly after noon and report its
to the commission. Although both by
official circles and French reparations ra
officials regarded the Berlin negotla th
tions as having been a complete fail- of
ure, Sir John Bradbury and M. Mauclere
are bringing with them the 11th na
hour counter proposals submitted b> inj
Dr. Wirth, the German chancellor, in
and which the British are hoping will to
prove acceptable. v na
The details of these proposals tfte fo
being withheld by Sir John Brad- th
bury and M. Mauclere. An outline fe<
will be given to the commission by en
M. Mauclere, of the situation as M of
was found to exist in Berlin. He also tu
will make known the other proposals $6
made by Germany which were tentatively
declined by the delegation. (R
The British will make every effort mi
to avoid a direct vote by the repara- po
tions commission on the question of inj
granting a moratorium to Germany He
and may propose a further postpone- coi
mont of the decision, hoping in the bo
delay that some solution will be ar- lai
rived at in to prevent independent th<
action by France against Germany.
No official statement has yet been nu
vouchsafed as to what the independ- (R
ent action of France may be but (D
generally it is the belief that.it will ;0i
be the occupatoin of the Ruhr region. Mi

d Kichard Wation, negro, wearing

chael Watsofi, was arrested last
i night on the 1200 block of Blandinfl
- street by Detectives Shorter, Neli
son and Allen, and in a short time it
:? developed that Watson had been
i working in several homes in Colurof
bia. Watson wore a white dress,
- black stockings, white shoes, breast
> pin and carried a ladles' handkerchief.
. The police did not find a pow
der pufT or a handbag.
Watson told officers where he had
n room and when the white employ
er was told of his arrest, expressed
j regret and surprise over the arrest
1 j of "our Rachael." The regret su
' pcreeded by indignation when ?it be Uunie
known that 'ho "negro woman
[Who worked around the house" wa
a man.
1 The negro told a repotter that he
5 j came from Virginia two years ago
1, hnd had been in South Carolina two
' years. Watson said he worked for
"|a well known family in Lexington
1 and for others at Brookland before
1 coming to Columbia. He admitted
. that he was "she" at the homes he
:. lived in or worked around. The prisI
1
ner talks in a moderate tone and
casual observation and ordinary lis
tcnir.g would throw the average per;
son off their guard. His makeup was
i ideal for a negress. His hair dress
1! ing was of the modern sort and a
I nurse's cap put the "O. K." on the
man who posed as a woman.
| It was said last night that Watson
II carried a fine line of silk, satin an i
|;tricotine dresses for Sunday wear.
1 The walking hats were up-to-date
, ard " Rachael' cut a patch among ne-tfro
women on dress parade. Watson
: was picked up on the 1200 block of
Blanding street on complaint of a
negro woman who told officers that
Rachael was a 'funny woman."
!' Detectives are holding the negro
| on a charge of loafing and loitering
, and for investigation. They intimate
that Watson may be wanted at an
other point. \ The prisoner said he
was 99 yean oldL' He weighs about
, 170 pounds and is "ginger oake" col.
